Answer 1

1. Open build.gradle and add recycler view dependency. com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.1 and rebuild the project.

build.gradle

dependencies {
compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])
testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'
compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:design:23.1.1'
compile 'com.android.support:recyclerview-v7:23.1.1'}

2. With the latest version of build tools, Android Studio is creating two layout files for each activity. For main activity, it created activity_main.xml (contains CoordinatorLayout and AppBarLayout) and content_main.xml (for the actual content). Open content_main.xml and the recycler view widget.
